On the one hand, I've only ever had one job - and that's because my dad 
worked there.

On the other hand, I know people who work at the OU, and yet I can't get 
a job at the OU. I know somebody who works for Network Rail, and yet I 
can't get a job at Network Rail. Hell, I know a guy who works at Google, 
and I can't get them to hire me either. (Although, amazingly, I did get 
an interview...)

You see what I'm saying? Just knowing somebody who works at company X 
doesn't seem to help you actually get in there. (Unless the company is 
the kind of hopelessly unprofessional place like where I left just...)

In short, I know a tiny handful of people, but I'm not sure how to /use/ 
that to get hired.
